Less Than Jake

Lowlands festival ticket

• Posted by Rob (#1) on August 14, 2006 16:24 CEST

Don't worry Inge, I finally got around to purchasing a ticket this morning. I couldn't be bothered before but your "it's almost sold out" message made it seem like a good idea to take care of it. Now someone please remind me who's playing where and when, so I can pick a list of bands to see. Oh, never mind, I finally found a proper schedule including stages and times on the web site. I'm not happy about the Lostprophets/Pennywise conflict but at least Less Than Jake is a solid excuse for not having to see Muse.

Give me a gig!

• Posted by Rob (#1) on May 3, 2006 17:03 CEST

Quick update on Give It A Name: it was sweet! And how could it not be, with bands such as The Ataris, Silverstein, Panic! At The Disco, Angels & Airwaves, Taking Back Sunday, My Chemical Romance, Lostprophets. And many, many more. Said hi to Rachel, met wicked, sexy people like Caris, shopped at Camden Town.. yup, London still works for me.

Some recent gigs I might not have written about yet:

• 5/4: Versus The World (Melkweg, Amsterdam)

  This was a tad quiet and boring to be honest. Lousy crowd and the show, well, I've seen and heard better.

• 7/4: Zombina & The Skeletones (Morlock, The Hague)

  Zombina being an example of better. The sound was way, way, way too loud, but that didn't stop us from shaking our booties.

• 8/4: Cheap Thrills (Dynamo, Eindhoven)

  (Enters groupie mode.) Signed drumstick. Wiee! (Leaves groupie mode.)

• 14/4: Less Than Jake (Melkweg, Amsterdam)

  Always nice to have a band where you can skank, but it was a shame Din was ill.
  

• 21/4: Cheap Thrills/Dicemen (Latenstaan, Zoetermeer)

  Ah, Sweet Lake City. Sweet is was.. probably because I spent €25 on beer that was €1.25 a bottle. Hiccup!
  

So what's up next?

• 13/5: Cheap Thrills (Motorclub, Leiden)
• 19/5: Pinboys (Loppen, Copenhagen)
• 27/5: Bon Jovi (Goffertpark, Nijmegen)
• 29/5: Taking Back Sunday (Melkweg, Amsterdam)
• 6/6: Alexisonfire (Melkweg, Amsterdam)
• 9/6: Angels & Airwaves (Melkweg, Amsterdam)
• 16/6: Cheap Thrills (Waterfront, Rotterdam)
• 25/7: Flogging Molly (Mean Fiddler, London)
